Meet The Team

Alba – Chief Operations Officer

I joined Hanigan & Johnson’s team in 2006. What I love the most about H & J is the family atmosphere they have created in the office. I love seeing the excitement of our patients starting treatment and ending treatment! Those smiles are what bring joy to our team.

My husband and I have a handsome son who means the world to us. I have learned to enjoy the outdoors with my son’s various activities. We enjoy spending time with family and friends and our three wonderful dogs.

Kim – Treatment Coordinator

I have been with HJO for almost 20 years now. I began my career working as an orthodontic technician and now work as a treatment coordinator. My favorite part of my job is interacting with patients as we set up their treatment plan and help their lifelong dreams of having straight teeth come true. I love working with Drs. Hanigan and Johnson not only because they are great orthodontists, but they genuinely care about each patient that comes through our door.

In my free time I love spending time with family and friends. I am married with two children, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law and four adorable grandchildren!

I have been in the dental field for over 30 years, but joined the Hanigan & Johnson team in February 2022. This entire team has made me feel like family! The best part of my job is getting to meet new families and assisting them on their journey to accomplish their dream smile.  This team of Orthodontist and staff has made my transition from moving from California to Texas so easy and stress free.

I have two wonderful kids; my daughter and son-in-law who just moved to Texas in April and my son and daughter-in-law who moved to Texas in November 2021. I spend most of my free time with my two amazing grandsons! We have all had such fun learning and exploring Texas.
